Alright, she’s pretty much done. I ended up taking off the second brake and I’m still on the lookout for a back fender, but it’s fully functional. Here’s the breakdown of what this rebuild cost me from front to back:
- front rim FREE
- front fender FREE
- Handlebar tape $20
- Chainring $40
- Bottom Bracket $20
- Pedals $1
- Cranks $1
- Toeclips FREE
- Chain $25
- Seat $2
- tube $3
- new rear tire $8
- Rear wheel + hub $71
- Freewheel sprocket $35
- Fixie sprocket + ringlock $6
- Frame $20
- bearings $1
You can see where I put money into it. I probably could’ve put it all together for a hundred bucks if I would’ve just used parts pulled off other bikes and such, but I don’t think it would be running as well as it does now. I might end up switching out the brake in the future, or at least changing the wire (I think it’s a little rusty), but other than that there’s not much else that really NEEDS to be done. It’s an incredibly smooth ride and the whole fixie setup is super fun. Not bad for, what is that, 263 bucks? Bun Bun agrees.
